More WiFi observations

I've noticed that the more "rural" a suburban area is, the more open access points it has. Also, the less-frequently populated by vandwellers, the more open AP's it has. Some of the areas I've been in, close to where I've seen other vandwellers, have completely locked-down AP's. Likewise in some denser areas of the city. But out in the sticks, it's not like that. Although, in denser areas I'm more likely to find restaurants and coffee shops with intentionally-open AP's, and the Free the Net mesh too.
